Simple Teriyaki Marinade

A simple, all-purpose marinade to add flavor to grilled meat and fish this summer. This recipe was shared with us by Kimberton Whole Foods customer, MaryAnn Neblock. MaryAnn shares, “Use this marinade on chicken, pork chops or tenderloin, tofu, or salmon. This is a ‘master recipe’. You can use it as a base recipe for an Asian-style dipping sauce by omitting the pineapple juice and adding sliced scallion and/or sesame seeds.”
